At noon on Thanksgiving Day all
public schools, houses of business,
hnks, etc, were closed in honor of a
e'and luau given by the defeated can
didates, thus proving a true saying
that sometimes defeat is better than
victory. After all had partaken to the
full of all the appetizers that the deli
cate hands of tire Hawaiians only
know how TO prepare, Mr.. George c.
Beckley was called upon for speech,
who said that he was glad to welcome
all 10 the feast, foreigners as well as
natives. Heretofore the nation has
been in the clouds, but now, he was
glad 10 say, they Were out of the
clouds. He had repeatedly asked the
i[Ning 10 dismiss the past Ministry {;
That they would surely bring him to
lose his crown, and we find that they
did run the country heavily in debt
Now we have a Ministry and I.egisla-
ture who are going To stop all this, and
viii try 10 bring the country out of
debt. He spoke of Mr. Wilder as
being a father Of the country, and as
the majority of the Legislature have
voted 10 support the English loan, it
means success to his railroad enter
prise. This will bring a great deal of
wealth 10 this island and open up the
ntry, and within few months YOU
WV see the steamships coming into

mayAay that / am a foreigner because

not so; the only reason that has made

what we must have in the future in
the management OF public affairs
faithful work
Jos. Nawahi being next called upon
said lac had only few words TO say.

He urged the Hawaiians to 90 TO work
and reap some of the benefits of plant
ing their fields with bananas, sQuashes,
cabbage and sweet potatoes, and not
pave it all for the Chinese and Portu-
